Hi, I signed up with Depression Central today and I am starting the 16 week program, now if only I can get the "Activity Sched.Worksheet" to download...
I am not new to depression, unfortunately. It has been 10 long years of trying to figure this all out. At this point, I've been on most medications, been hospitalized 5 times(have had a difficult time wanting to live, at times), and I am now doing ECT(12 so far) and thinking about stopping it due to memory and cognitive worries. I am very tired of all this and wish I could just go back to teaching(I have Multiple Sclerosis)and leave this all behind. My diagnosis has "progressed" to Major Depression, Recurrent and PTSD from years of violent child abuse that I tried to just not deal with. It came up and bit me when I had some major stressors come into my life(which I won't bore you with...). I have tried just about everything with 3 years of EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy, but I have been in therapy for pretty much 10 years, with multiple therapists and psychiatrists due to moving, finances, etc. (I wouldn't recommend it :-) I think I'm on my "last ditch effort" here--I'm very tired.
